4th of July Week – 4th of July Toast
Filed under Breakfast/BrunchJun 23
It’s 4th of July Week here on Taste and Tell! All week, I’ll be bringing you festive red, white and blue recipes that will be perfect for the celebrations coming up. Make sure and come back tomorrow and link up your favorite red, white and blue recipes!!Hello – my name is Deborah and I’m a Pinterest addict.
There – I’ve said it. I feel much better now. But seriously, that website is so inspiring. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you are really missing out. Just be prepared to spend lots of time, because it will totally suck you in!!
I totally had a different recipe planned for today when I planned out this 4th of July week. But then I saw this clever breakfast idea from photographer Emily Henson pop up on Pinterest, and I couldn’t get it out of my head! What a creative way to serve breakfast on the 4th of July! (And not only did I totally copy this idea, but I even stole the basic photo styling. That’s how much I loved it! Imitation is the highest form of flattery, right?)
This is another one that basically doesn’t require a recipe – just a guideline. Take a piece of toast, and slather it with cream cheese. Then add a layer of strawberry or raspberry jam on top. Create the star corner with blueberries, and the stripes with bananas. A delicious, healthy and patriotic breakfast!!

This is insane! I would have never thought to dress up breakfast this way, what a fun way to entertain guests if you have some sleeping over for the 4th of July.

I am just loving all your patriotic posts for this week! And I have a big 2 lb container of blueberries to use up so the posts with blueberries are especially great for me right now. This recipe is so easy since I have everything on hand to make it right now…my kids will love it!

OMG this is too cute! I love it, I signed up for Pinterest but it seems like a huge potential time suck for me! I’ve been trying not to get sucked in, but with stuff this cute coming from there- I might have to!

What a fun way to start the morning on the 4th. Send me the Pinterest invite when you get a chance. I really need another addiction.

[...] There are quite a few ideas out there for red, white and blue food to celebrate the Fourth of July, but so few seem actually healthy. And many of them contain Jell-O, which doesn’t work for a vegetarian (see why). So I trawled the tubes and found a few recipes that aren’t only delicious, but healthy to boot. Happy Fourth! 4th of July Toast [...]
